Buying Farmland as an InvestmentFarmland Investment

Do you want a conservative, stable, income producing investment that is an excellent hedge against inflation? Buy a farm.

The value of farmland has risen steadily over the past 5 years and the race is on to gather up arable land – either to farm it or for development. Canadian farm prices rose on average 12% each year since 2008. In highly productive parts of Canada such as southern Ontario, farm prices have been shooting up 30% to 50% a year. Across the board, farm values are increasing far faster than house prices.

Several factors are driving increasing farm values:

Other than the fact that farm values are increasing, there are several other reasons why buying farmland is a good investment. Farmland is a vital commodity and as the world gets more crowded the value of productive land will only increase. The amount of farmland in Canada is limited and more is being lost to development every year. What survives will become more valuable. A farm is a hard asset that will hold its value. As populations grow and productive farmland becomes scarcer around the world, Canadian farmland will only become more desirable and valuable.

The economic driver behind farmland’s long term value is undeniable. A growing world population means higher demand for food. The UN estimates the world population to grow to 9.2 Billion by 2050. This will translate to upward pressure on commodity prices and the need to greatly increase farming yields. According to the UN, in order to feed the world’s growing and longer living population, agricultural outputs will need to double by 2050. In order for this to occur, output must increase by 3.4% annually. To put this increasing food demand into perspective, experts are predicting that agriculture will need to produce more food over the next 50 years than what was produced during the previous 10,000 years. Many of the rapidly growing populations around the world are located in countries with relatively little farmland.For example, China has 20% of the world’s population with only 7% of the world’s farmable land. As their populations grow, these countries are quickly becoming net importers of food products. Canadian farmers will prove to be vital in feeding this demand. Combined with the growing demand for food, The Canada is a prime location for agricultural investment.Farmland offers an excellent hedge against inflation. Many investors face the challenge of simply maintaining the wealth they have already built. The threat of inflation can strongly impact an investor’s real worth. Over the past 100 years, farmland has only decreased in value three times: during the great depression, the inflation crisis of the early 1980s and most recently during the housing crisis of 2008/2009. Despite three bumps in the road over the past 100 years, historical Canadian farmland returns are one of the most attractive asset classes that compares favorably with more traditional assets such as stocks and bonds. Farmland is an extremely effective way to provide portfolio diversification. Because farmland has not been “institutionalized” to the same degree as other forms of real estate, it provides an excellent way to get away from the mainstream financial system. Farmland can be less time and money intensive than other real estate. If the land does not have buildings, there is nothing physical to maintain. Modern technology means that farmers can farm incredible amounts of land; therefore they are constantly looking for new land to work. If a farmer is not leasing your land, it is typically easy to find another tenant.
